The last time I teleport, I ended up on a trash can. Its was...very much embarassing with a trash banana in the top of the head." Arial said that words, feeling a bit better with the now calm situation. Guess he is learning how to be social I suppose!
"Tell me about it. The only thing I know it was pretty strong. It get away unfortanely before I could capture it or even try anything more. My Duplicat could still Transform in that thing even after the battle. If I discover something more about that Pokemon gonna communicate with you right away."
When Viktor was so much been humble, Arial had to object a bit. "Well, not annyone could do the same thing as you. Facing a corrupt Legendary Actan. Befriend him. Facing a literally Super Nuclear Legendary and beat it on a battle. And save the entire region of a Nuclear Calamity. Dont dismiss your potential Mr. Viktor. Oh and been a Mega Evolution user too! Thats another important point to your list. See someone like as champion and savior of my region kinda...makes me feel proud in born in the same region as you, as much strange this sounds."
Arial grab a notebook and timid ask. "I know this a bit sudden, but...could I ask a autograph? I okay if you refuse of course."
With the request of Viktor in Arial treat him as a normal trainer, he nod his head. "If you say so Viktor. As you wish."
When Kellyn mentioned money Arial take a quick look in his pouch of money. "Lets see...R$ 5.980. Its all the money I have at the moment. Is this enough to save for a while? I hope so."
With that problem deal. Gaspar jump from Arial shoulder, until he Transformed into a big Feliger! Big enough to carry Necroz, Riza and Arial. "Welp, we have a path to go then. Again, thanks for the help. And sorry for the sudden appearance around here. No hard feelings." Arial also request to exchange numbers with Kellyn, just in case things get complicated. "Dont hold back if you need something Mr. Kellyn. You help me now, and if there is something I never forget is retribute a good action. Aotios and Mutios shine the future of both of you." Arial said that words with a last bow of respect, before he and Gaspar begin to forward to Bealbeach City and find a place to rest.
Any description of the path they heading now?
"*Nods* Roger. If that's the worst experience you've had with Teleporting, I'd say your luck isn't the worst with it. Still, never a bad idea to practice with it to get better, so I'd recommend you do that if your going to be frequently Teleporting in the future. If you need any help with it, the Vensi Gym would be the place to go, even if it's acolytes and leader enjoy their theatrics a bit too much."
Yeap, Arial's no longer a total failure at social interaction. Praise be his progress, and whatever is responsible for it!
Concerning the information you provided about Gaspar's new and True Form - or the lack thereof, really - Kellyn accepts it with another nod, leaving the matter at that, which causes your brother to quietly *Sigh* in relief. Thank heavens! Anymore scrutiny from the Ranger Chief, and they'd start to grow AND lose hair over it!
The adolescent hero turned red as a Cheri Berry became ever increasingly flustered as you cheerfully rejected his self-humbling rationale and sung his accomplishments and your highest accolades, to the point he hide his face and started tapping his index fingers together from the sheer notority he's receiving. And when you asked for his autograph, he nearly Fainted from shock and was sent a-stammering!
"I-I-I, uh....sure! A-ain't a problem! J-j-just......please s-stop! Y-your p-p-praise is...istoomuchforme! Don't need it! S-save it f-f-for s-someone e-else t-that d-d-deserves it more!"
His voice was almost painfully shrill and timid sounding, and it and him being overwhelmed by you caused the Ranger Chief himself to start laughing at the spectacle, which only served to magnify the boy's shy embarrassment! Even Lucille can't help but smile and giggle briefly, despite herself! Poor dear.....he clearly doesn't handle such adoring attention very well, does he now? Such a pity for a hero like him, but at least he's made all the more cute for it!
Once Viktor signed your notebook and Kellyn finished chuckling, the later clasped your empty shoulder and gave you a grin that wouldn't sent shivers down your spine if you didn't know it was friendly.
"Thank you for that, Arial. Always appreciate having good laugh and my son getting the due respect he's entitled too, and you delivered well on both accounts. If you got anymore kind words for them, then I'd like for us to hear them! Help build his self-esteem, I think, ha ha!"
"D-Dad!!"
Ah, family hi-jinks....how you missed them so.
Short while later, Kellyn nods at your question about your, saying "Yeah, that should be enough to live off of for two weeks here," before sticking a hand into his pocket, pulling out $2000 Poke, and slapping it into your open palm!
"....But take this anyway. *Smirks* Think of it as a gift, for livening up me and my family's day at the beach. Especially Viktor's. "
"D-DAD!!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"...Brother, you can stop teasing my nephew. I believe he's had all he can handle, or just about."
"Ha ha, yes de-sis."
When you make to leave for Bealbeach, the old hero nods and offers another handshake to send you off with, while Viktor is too flustered to give his own good-byes and Lucille is just.....watching.
"No problem. Always happy to help someone in need. It is sorta my job too, or it might as well be. Take care yourself, Arial, and hope you have a good time in Bealbeach."
Your request for his number gets a raised eyebrow from the man, though, before he shakes his head, looking somewhat serious but not mean.
"No offense, Arial, but my number is on a need to know basis, and you're just a stranger to me. If you need to get in touch, you can head over to the Tandor Ranger HQ and - "
"Brother, dear, how about I give my number to him instead? That way, I can pass along messages between you two, without either of you having to deal with the Ranger's dread bureaucracy or the problems of him having you on speed dial."
That interjection from the former mad scientist causes her husband to snap his head to her, with a look of plain surprise about him.
"L-sister?"
"*Smiles* Yes, brother? *Tilts head* Is that a problem?"
"......No, I suppose not, if you don't mind."
"I do not, so that is that."
Lucille reaches into a nearby dark green bag - her's, no doubt - pulls out a piece of paper and pen, scribbles her number on it, before getting up to go over and give it to you. On it was also a simple message: Call me later, tonight, or else. Don't say anything about this to Kellyn or Viktor.
She smiled pleasantly to you, but her gaze was still very much wary and guarded.
"Here you go, Arial. Don't be a stranger, now. My brother and his son could certainly benefit from a man like you spicing up their lives."
"M-m-A-auntie Debs, not you too....!"
On that fairly ominous note, you and your currently reptilian brother beat feet to Bealbeach City, doing your best to get their quickly without raising any alarms from the family of heroes. How you felt about Lucille's message is up to you, and whether or not you tell the rest of your family about it.
The journey to the coastal city was scenic, but uneventful. Spotted some other beach goers as you got closer to the more public/less out-of-reach beaches, as well as some Cassnails and Cocarans wandering about the place, but none of them bothered nor approached you. You end up arriving right at the city entrance, standing there as you gazed at its many skyscrapers, glitzy businesses, and tropical decor and architecture, all of it a familiar sight to you.
After so many years on the run and abroad in Kanto, you're finally back home. You never though you could return - not without a pair of handcuffs on you - but you have. You're home. With you family, old and new....
